Speaking of Haiti, a paramedic/firefighter friend of mine, Jon Davis, is part of a group from the Blood Reserve traveling there to aid the relief effort. Via the Lethbridge Herald:
The plight of Haiti’s quake victims has plucked at the heartstrings of both young and old on the Blood Reserve, and the community’s lone physician is organizing a medical relief trip to depart in March.
Dr. Esther Tailfeathers has amassed people from the Blood Tribe Dept. of Health that includes Registered Nurses, paramedics, support staff and others.
They’ll be setting off in about 8 days. Good luck, Jon!

The signs are all around us; tornadoes in 2005 (I made t-shirts), floods in 2008, plagues in 2009 and now EARTHQUAKES in 2010! I’m not talking about some distant land, but Southern Alberta!
A recent tweet by Chris Morris led me to the U.S. Geological Survey, which recorded a 2.6 magnitude earthquake only 49km south of Lethbridge!
Now is the time to repent!
